They told me about a week but count on working half days for a week after that because I will be tired

Same here I have been on preop for five days and have lost seven. A littler tired and grumpy but yesterday someone actually asked if I lost weight. She said she noticed it in my face right away. Made me feel great!!!

Well I am hooked on the song and video for New Kid On the Block's " Remix". Pard me a minute guys. But girls. Forty something Donnie Wahlberg is looking hot. The song lyrics kind of fit with my whole approach to a new me so I will be singing this one to myself as I go into surgery July third On pre-op for five days and down seven pounds. Christy

Try adding some vanilla extract to the vanilla shake. That's what my nut told me.

Surprisingly my family has been totally behind me with some reservations from my eldest children. However the one I truly hated to tell was my boss. Her teasing gets to the point of bullying sometimes. I know this will be held over my head at work.

Did u know ahead of time that there was going to be a hernia repair or did they find it necessary when doing the surgery. I have seen many people mention this part of the surgery Christy
